Overall, the sophomorestended to report similar numbers of team members with each professional skill as the seniors.Whereas the seniors could clearly distinguish between the professional skill areas, thesophomores were not adept at this.To understand the impact of the team asset-mapping activity, we compared the sophomores’scores on items from a peer evaluation conducted twice during the semester. Early in thesemester, students tended to report some difficulty managing conflicts related to team tasks, butby the end of the semester, significantly fewer teams did so.We also describe an asset-based modification we made to the teams in the senior capstone

These authorsexplain that capstone design courses are commonly used to demonstrate the achievement ofprescribed engineering competencies. The development of cornerstone (or introductory) designcourses was prompted by desires to connect new students to the engineering profession in anengaging and meaningful fashion. The value of introducing design thinking and applying project-based learning is emphasized as means to acquire design skills. The Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) process is suggested as a means to infuse design throughout thecurriculum.Design thinking is characterized as the designer’s ability to tolerate ambiguity, addressuncertainty, iterate, maintain a systems perspective, work in a team, make decisions, andcommunicate

How do students’ conceptualizations of an open-ended problem develop throughout the project? 4.
